Thanks for asking Andy--yes, if they are collaborative events, they need a Library
Event Summary. Only one per event (one for Kids Cafe, one for SNAP, etc) needs to
be created for everyone to add their specific branch details.
Thanks!

Hi Jonnica,
Andrea Tavener would like information for libraries serving over winter break. I know
Sparks Library will not serve because they are having floors re-done. I am sure you are
planning to serve. Could I get dates and times you plan to serve? Winter break is Friday
12/17/2021 through Friday 12/31/2021. Did you want to serve starting Friday or the
following Tuesday? I am sure your days are Tuesday through Friday but let me know if
you want to catch that first Friday as well. You could probably start advertising ow and
try to get consistent roster of kids coming in daily. Will you guys be closed on 12/24 and
12/31?
Also if there are any sites that might want to serve let me know.
Thanks,

Good Monday Afternoon, Manager Brown and Erick!
Thank you again for a fabulous story time at the South Valleys Library, Manager
Brown. The experience was greatly enjoyed by all!
As promised, please find attached the story time schedule throughout all Washoe
County Libraries for your consideration. We look forward to working out which
locations and story times work within your availability.
A couple of details of worthy note:
December @ the Gerlach Community Library
https://washoecountylibrary.us/libraries/gerlach.php: Library folks are planning
on visiting the Gerlach Community Library on Thursday, December 9th, where
they will be offering a Gingerbread House program for the students between 1:15-
2:45pm. A story time with Manager Brown would be most welcome. The exact
time may be flexible and lunch at Bruno's is always an opportunity worthy of
experiencing!
Gerlach Community Library

In alignment with current CDC and state guidelines, all visitors over the age of 2 are
required to wear masks. The Gerlach School/Community Library is on the edge of the
Black Rock Desert and serves the northern half of Washoe County.
washoecountylibrary.us
Additionally, as noted in the attached, the Northwest Reno and Sparks libraries
are scheduled for remodel so we will want to plan your visits for the Spring. Story
Time with Manager Brown...a perfect way to celebrate the remodel of both
libraries!
Please let me know which library for November and whether Gerlach is feasible,
and we'll make it happen.

Around The World In Eighty Days
David Tennant, Ibrahim Koma, and Leonie Benesch star
in an adaptation of the Jules Verne classic
Sundays, January 2 - February 20, 2022 on MASTERPIECE PBS
Literature’s most famous race against the calendar comes to MASTERPIECE in

2022 with an innovative new adaptation of Jules Verne’s classic novel Around
The World In Eighty Days, airing on MASTERPIECE in eight thrilling episodes
airing Sundays, January 2 - February 20, 2022 at 8/7c on PBS. David Tennant
(Doctor Who) stars as the Englishman who bets a fortune that he can
circumnavigate the planet in a mere eighty days—quite a feat, considering that
it’s 1872. Ibrahim Koma (As Far as I Can Walk) and Leonie Benesch (Babylon
Berlin) costar as his intrepid traveling companions on an expedition that packs
far more adventure than the trio bargained for. This captivating tale is brought
to life by UK production house Slim Film + Television and French production
company Federation Entertainment.
Updating Verne’s enduringly popular tale, MASTERPIECE introduces new

themes, characters, and stories, drawing in part on the author’s own
personal history of disappointment in love, and also echoing the record-
breaking around-the-world trip in 1890 by journalist Nellie Bly in emulation of
Verne’s plot.
Shot on location on two continents, the miniseries follows our heroes as they
head east from London on October 5, 1872, intending to make it back to the
reading room of the city’s snobbish Reform Club no later than one o’clock on
Christmas Eve. En route, they take ships, trains, balloons, camels, stagecoaches,
and other conveyances, while meeting increasingly dangerous obstacles. At
stake is a wager of 20,000 British pounds, equal to over $3 million in today’s
U.S. currency.
The idea for the trip is sparked by a news article reporting a recently finished
railway line in India that completes an unbroken chain of modern transportation
links spanning the globe, making it possible to circle the planet in eighty days—
at least, in theory. Phileas Fogg (Tennant), a diffident bachelor and regular at
the Reform Club, muses longingly about the possibility and is goaded by his old
antagonist, Nyle Bellamy (Peter Sullivan, Poldark), into undertaking the journey,
with a hefty bet riding on the outcome.
Deciding that his octogenarian butler (Richard Wilson, Merlin) is not up to the
voyage, Fogg recruits a new valet, Passepartout (Koma), who is a sharp-witted
French wanderer, and they immediately set forth. Doggedly following their
trail is the ambitious reporter of the story that launched the adventure, Abigail
“Fix” Fortescue (Benesch), daughter of British newspaper magnate Bernard
Fortescue (Jason Watkins, The Crown). Fogg soon concludes that he can’t get
rid of Abigail and enlists her as an official member of the expedition. Little do
they know but Abigail has made a crucial error in her original article.
– more –
Page 2
However, that is the least of their worries as Fogg, Passepartout, and Abigail experience
revolution, starvation, false arrest, surreptitious drugging, life-threatening attacks, and stranding
on a desert island, among other perils. Clearly, fate—or somebody—does not want Fogg to win
his bet!
Among the interesting, helpful, and menacing individuals they meet are the notorious English
libertine Jane Digby (Lindsay Duncan, Sherlock) and her latest husband, Sheik Medjuel el Mezrab
(Faical Elkihel, The Spy); dogged U.S. Marshal Bass Reeves (Gary Beadle, Grantchester), who is
enforcing the law in the Old West; and ubiquitous private detective Thomas Kneedling (Anthony
Flanagan, Gentleman Jack), who is definitely operating outside the law.
Furthermore, since even the most remote excursion invariably reconnects by chance with a long-
lost acquaintance, Fogg runs into an old friend who wastes no time giving him a piece of her mind
(Dolly Wells, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies). A good thing too, since time is of the essence on
this trip!
Around The World In 80 Days is a Slim Film + Television and Federation Entertainment co-
production for France Télévisions, ZDF and RAI, in co-production with Peu Communications,
MASTERPIECE, Be-FILMS and RTBF in association with The Industrial Development Corporation
of South Africa Limited, Daro Films, and BBC. It is executive produced by Simon Crawford
Collins for Slim, Lionel Uzan and Pascal Breton for Federation, and Winnie Serite for Peu
Communications.
Susanne Simpson is the Executive Producer of MASTERPIECE.

Strategic Planning Survey Data
Washoe County Library System Strategic Plan Survey Executive Summary
As part of our Strategic Planning process for 2022-2025, we have an online and a paper survey about the
library. The goal is to get a snapshot as to who is using the library, what our patrons value the most
about our library, and what kind of services they would like to see in the future.
As of now, we have had 440 survey responses. Most of our patrons responded as well educated (41%
said graduate degree or higher) mostly women (78%) and mostly white (87%). This response is typical
for most library patrons. Our survey response is consistent with our user base. However, it does allow us
to reflect on outreach to different community to make sure we are hearing from everyone.
Of the 440 responses, most have a library card (97%) and had one prior to the COVID-19 pandemic
(85%). When asked which libraries they use the most, patrons responded that they use multiple
branches as well as online resources (77%). Most patrons use the library a few times a month (30%) and
most online patrons use the library several times a week (33%).
When asked how patrons use the library, the top four responses were: Picking Up Holds, Browsing for
Something New, Reading, Relaxing, and Hanging Out, and Attending Library Events. The services most
important for patrons were: Open Hours, New and Popular Books and Movies, Magazines and
Newspapers, Events for Seniors, and Events for Kids. This response was also consistent when asked what
services patrons would like to see expanded. One addition was the expansion of eBooks and
downloadable audiobooks from our online patron respondents.
Most patrons found what they were looking for or received assistance from staff when they visited the

Update On Library Hours
Washoe County Library Board of Trustees approved the expanded library hours in July 2021. We had
discussed timelines if we could not hire staff fast enough to make the October 4th deadline. Out of
abundance of caution and to ensure we have the staffing strength; we are asking the board to begin the
new expanded hours one-week later October 11th.
Furthermore, we have made two adjustments to the hours. One, South Valleys Library will be open until
5pm on the weekends instead of 4pm. Also, we have adjusted the Duncan Traner hours to increase open
days during the week and after school.

Caldor Fire Evacuees Support
City of South Lake Tahoe was fully evacuated in August. With 22,000 people evacuated there were many
opportunities for the library to help. Sierra View Library reached out to evacuees at the Reno Sparks
Convention Center, many of which used our library services. They can get library cards, access our
collection, use our digital resources, get technology and access to the internet. We also made a social
media push to advertise our resources to evacuees.
Downtown Reno Library provided story times for evacuees at the Discovery Center Camp. Discovery
Center had a camp for kids for evacuees. We partnered with them in providing programming and
events.
Hiring Process
We are currently interviewing for our 10 Full-Time and 5 Part-Time Library Assistant II positions. We will
work on the Library Assistant III Recruitment at Downtown Reno Library and Library Aides thereafter.
We will also have our Account Clerk position reclassified to an Office Support Specialist by the Washoe
Board of County Commissioners in September. The hiring process will push back our expansion of hours
to October 11th.

Detention Center Library a Success!
Debi Stears and her Technical Services Team has been hard at work getting the Detention Center Library
ready for operation. Washoe County Sheriff has created and hired a Detention Center Library Aide that
has provided the day-to-day assistance. Debi will provide a full presentation later this year, but I wanted
to share some great before and after photos of the collection.
Two Grant Projects
We were awarded two grant projects via the Nevada State Library and Institute of Museums and Library
Services from the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021.
We will begin a partnership with the Northern Nevada Literacy Council for a workforce development
plan. Sierra View Library will be the host and the lead for Citizenship Classes, English Language Learning
Circles, and workforce development classes.

focus on rural, urban isolated areas, and homebound seniors to deliver books, internet, and technology
training on the go.
Sierra View Library Lease Renewal
The Washoe County Board of County Commissioners will approve a new five-year lease with the Reno
Town Mall. This lease includes the library and Friends of Washoe County Library. This lease also includes
12

4) OLD BUSINESS
None

5) NEW BUSINESS
a. Informational Only: Library Board of Trustees Strategic Planning Exercise
Library Director Jeff Scott provided a brief update on the Washoe County Library System (WCLS)
strategic planning survey process, which was currently under way; a public survey had already
been sent out, and within the next few days, a SurveyMonkey link would also be sent to Board
members and all staff to allow feedback. After all surveys closed on September 15, 2021,
responses would be anonymously compiled and shared at a future Board meeting. Director Scott
hoped to get a good response from the public, staff members, and members of the Board. He
noted more than 250 responses had been received in just ten days thus far, with a goal of receiving
1,000 responses before the close of the survey. Hybrid online and in-person community forums
had been conducted at different branches with varying results. He explained the goals of the
surveys and the types of questions being asked; the goal, he said, was to get people thinking about
how the Library System fit in as a part of the community. He provided examples of some of the
responses and concerns expressed at the Incline Village Library community forums, such as
residents’ feeling they were not receiving adequate responses from local elected officials, and
discussion regarding Citizen Advisory Boards. The next forum would be held at the Sparks Library
that day at 6:00 p.m., and another was upcoming at the Downtown Reno Library at 12:00 p.m. on
Saturday August 21.
Trustee Marsh inquired as to how feedback would be incorporated into the Library System’s
future planning processes. Director Scott answered that, once surveys closed and responses were
compiled, the WCLS Leadership Team would meet to discuss trends and general themes seen
among those responses in order to gain a better understanding of the community’s needs with
regard to the Washoe County Library System; this information and feedback would then be used
in the continued development of the strategic plan.
Trustee Marsh discussed plans for follow-up and the importance of responding to community
members and staff who had taken the time to respond to the survey. Chair Holland expressed
agreement. Director Scott responded that insights gleaned from the various responses would be
displayed at the branches for the public to see, and there would also be outreach whenever a
survey response indicated a need for staff to follow up.
6) REPORTS
a. Library Director’s Report
Director Scott reviewed the Library Director’s Report. He commented the Washoe County Library
System (WCLS) had been extremely busy with recruiting and hiring, having conducted more than
100 interviews and hiring 24 new staff members since May 2021. The new and existing vacancies
had included full and part time Library Assistant II (LAII), Library Assistant III (LAIII), and Librarian
I positions; more interviews would be held over the following several weeks. The goal, he
continued, was to have new and promoted staff members trained, acclimated, and up to speed
in advance of the branch hours changes tentatively planned for October.
Chair Holland inquired regarding the progression path for the Library Assistant job series. Director
Scott explained that, after gaining experience and demonstrating good performance on the job,
2
Library Aides often progressed to Library Assistant I (LAI) or Library Assistant II (LAII) positions
when vacancies became available. These could be either part or full time depending on branch
needs and budgets. LA I, II, or III vacancies could also be filled with qualified external candidates.
LAI staff members could promote to the LAII level, and LAII’s were able to promote to the LAIII
level. After the Library Assistant-level positions, there were also Librarian and Branch Manager
positions. Director Scott hoped to have new organizational charts available for the Board to
review once hiring slowed down, as there had been many changes.
Director Scott outlined the ImmunizeNV and COVID-19 vaccination outreach clinics recently
hosted at different branches. He noted mask mandates had been reimplemented in Washoe
County and at all WCLS libraries and stated some staff members had experienced occasional
pushback from non-compliant patrons. He reiterated his previous comments regarding the
strategic planning processes underway, adding that staff had done their best to accommodate
community members’ varying schedules and needs. Forums had been conducted in a hybrid
format with both in-person and Zoom attendance, which had allowed residents who were not
comfortable physically attending to participate in the discussions remotely.
Chair Holland and Director Scott discussed mask requirement pushback from some patrons and
the potential for negative interactions with members of the public. Director Scott stated surplus
personal protective equipment had been received from Washoe County, saving the libraries
money on supplies.
b. Reference Technology Team Update
Assistant Library Director Joan Dalusung presented the Reference Technology Team Update,
sharing that she was excited to discuss a new project called Library Pro Tips. She conducted a
PowerPoint presentation, a copy of which was provided in the agenda packet, and reviewed slides
with the following titles: Library Pro Tips: Technology Instruction Live and Online; Library Pro Tips
(2 slides); Power Searching; Homework Help; Previews (2 slides); Preview: BrainFuse; and Thank
You. She acknowledged the employees involved in the development of the Library Pro Tips project
and explained how staff had come up with the project’s name, which would allow development
of a number of different programs under the same title.
Assistant Director Dalusung recalled how the series had come into existence during the early days
of the COVID-19 pandemic, when the Washoe County Library System (WCLS) increased its focus
on developing virtual programming for patrons who could not physically visit the branches during
public shutdowns. She noted the WCLS had previously offered services and events such as
formally-scheduled technology classes, tech cafes, drop-in device help sessions, and staff had felt
the increased focus on virtual programming was a good opportunity to begin hosting online
classes. One course in particular was somewhat of a niche subject, focused on helping patrons get
to know the new catalog system. Ms. Dalusung felt if it had been offered in person, the class might
have struggled with somewhat poor attendance, but offering the course online had allowed staff
to conduct four classes in April and May with nine attendees. Staff had been thrilled with the
turnout and the increase of public interest in remote learning had pushed the WCLS to continue
these and similar offerings.
Ms. Dalusung reviewed plans to expand the Library Pro Tips series to include back-to-school and
homework help classes, which were currently being developed for potential implementation in
3
the fall. Staff hoped to be able to offer two of these trainings per month to assist both students
and parents. She also detailed the BrainFuse online tutoring and homework help platform
available to students in grades K through 12 and beyond, and the type of assistance students could
receive, as well as various research resources and databases available for both students and
professionals, including Explora by EBSCO. She expressed pride regarding the initiative staff had
taken with the virtual programming efforts and described new informational video clips also being
developed, as well as the plans for future development of similar resources to continue focus on
virtual resources for patrons and community members.
c. Tacchino Trust Update
Library Director Jeff Scott briefly reviewed the updates to the Tacchino Trust expenditures, noting
there had not been much activity since the last report. He stated staff were waiting to hear back
from contractors regarding upcoming construction.
Chair Holland asked whether the funds would need to be spent before the end of the fiscal year,
or prior to July 1, and Director Scott confirmed this, stating he would remind the Board of the
deadline again as it approached.
d. Quarterly Stats Report
Library Director Jeff Scott stated the branches were seeing approximately half of their normal
amount of traffic for that time of year and thought many patrons might only be visiting the
branches briefly to pick up holds or to use digital services. He hoped traffic would increase as the
Library System ramped up its outreach activities in the fall.
Chair Holland mentioned the recorded number of visits at the Incline Village branch appeared to
have increased dramatically during the month of May 2021; Director Scott explained it could have
been an error with the gate system counting each time the branch door opened rather than actual
foot traffic, and he noted this had also been an issue previously at the South Valleys branch. Chair
Holland thought the statistics seemed to indicate some foot traffic was in fact returning to the
libraries, and Director Scott agreed.
e. Quarterly Financial Report
Library Director Jeff Scott stated he had discussed with Chair Holland the possibility of returning
to a more simplified Quarterly Financial Report format. The simplified report had previously been
utilized by staff to prepare reports for the Board and had been a much quicker and less tedious
way to maintain and provide the needed data in an easy-to-read format. Director Scott noted
Chair Holland had pointed out a possible formula error on the Quarterly Financial Report provided
in the agenda packet, which staff would correct. He continued, branches had recently brought
back book sales and were accepting donations on behalf of the Friends of the Washoe County
Library, with good attendance. He expected the gift fund balances to soon be increasing.
f. Board Task Report
Library Director Jeff Scott briefly reviewed the Board Task Report. He noted that, regarding the
tax initiative and strategic planning processes, staff had made sure to include a question in the
recent surveys asking whether residents were aware that a tax initiative providing financial
4
support to the Library System was due to end in 2024 if it was not renewed by taxpayers. Survey
results had revealed many residents had not been previously aware of this, and education and
outreach would be needed to raise awareness.
7) STAFF ANNOUNCEMENTS
Downtown Reno Library Librarian I Pam Larsen shared that Governor Steve Sisolak had recently hosted
a story time event with a great turnout and feedback from the public. Library Director Jeff Scott thanked
Ms. Larsen for sharing this.
8) PUBLIC COMMENT
None
9) BOARD COMMENT
Chair Holland thanked former Chair Zanny Marsh for doing an outstanding job the previous year. He
inquired whether there were any updates regarding a recent phishing scam; Library Director Jeff Scott
responded that he had not heard anything further but cautioned both employees and patrons to be
careful with any suspicious emails, noting staff would never request that patrons purchase gift cards
for the library.
10) ADJOURNMENT
Chair Holland adjourned the meeting at 5:09 p.m.

1 Keep those boundaries up. Board does NOT individually direct staff nor should be back dooring 10/27/2020 1:58 PM
the CM. Bad for governance and tough on staff.
2 I believe Mr. Brown truly excels in his relationships with employees as well as Commissioners 10/23/2020 8:46 AM
and he is such a good listener he is able to work miracles. Even during meetings he has called
in Department heads to clear up a small question to prevent it from becoming a large problem.
3 I have personally observed the manager in certain situations be that effective liaison between 10/21/2020 12:03 PM
the Commission and Staff. He does a fantastic job managing both groups

1 extremely pleasant demeanor along with a willingness to listen and learn. 10/22/2020 4:49 PM
2 In my 26 year of public service, 15 of which has been in local government, Eric is one of two 10/20/2020 8:56 AM
exemplary leaders for how to be a servant leader. He has done an excellent job of putting
County employees and the public before himself. He also is an excellent listener. He does a
great job of quietly listening and thinking before responding, and isn't afraid to say he'll get
back to someone. He resists pressure to give an immediate answer when appropriate. His
ability to navigate public service after a career primarily in the private sector is impressive.
3 Eric brings a unique background and skill set to Washoe County, and has demonstrated his 10/16/2020 3:47 PM
leadership while leading us through an unprecedented year.
4 Over the past year, Manager Brown has quickly come up to speed on the many nuances of 10/16/2020 3:01 PM
managing a public organization and worked to build relationships throughout the community
and organization. Mr. Brown has brought forward many process and organizational
improvements, spurred in part as a response to Covid-19, but that were necessary for the
County to embrace in order to become a more agile, effective service provider to the
community.

1 Manager Brown is a calm presence in the midst of a variety of volatile scenarios. I appreciate 10/29/2020 7:57 AM
his ability to minimize the "chaos" and guide discussions in a calm and productive manner.
2 It has been a pleasure to work with Manager Brown. Immediately upon taking the position, he 10/27/2020 9:03 AM
jumped in to learning all of the various missions of each department and offices. He has
participated in a ride-along in patrol and a tour of our facility to learn more about what the
Sheriff's Office does in serving our community.
3 Eric has proven himself to be a capable leader who quickly grasps issues and thoughtfully 10/22/2020 3:34 PM
considers the input of his staff prior to making decisions. He has a consistently positive
attitude even while working long hours in difficult circumstances. Eric leads by example and is
a tremendous asset to the County.
4 Being new to the County, County Manager Brown was thrust into incredible and unprecedented 10/16/2020 12:47 PM
circumstances while still learning what his job entails. He showed nothing but strength,
integrity, sound judgment, and great decision making to navigate the County through these
times. County Manager Brown values people and develops them to reach their fullest potential.
I cannot wait to see what else he brings given this is only his first year.
5 Manager Brown has quickly assimilated into the community and established his role in regional 10/15/2020 8:46 AM
local government leadership. He has provided a steady hand to guide the region through the
difficult situations created by the COVID-19 emergency. His demeanor, ability to build
consensus to address complex issues, and collaborative approach to problem-solving are
exemplary.
6 Manager Brown is doing amazing work under exceedingly difficult circumstances. He has far 10/15/2020 8:15 AM
exceeded my expectations. I do hope he stays long enough and is empowered to make some
much needed changes in a few personnel positions.
7 Eric has been an advocate for county employees, encouraging us to find and recognize 10/14/2020 3:57 PM
successes, to develop teams with strong skillsets and empathy, and to engage our teams with
frequent communication and encouragement. This has, I believe, helped increase moral and
started to provide staff with a sense of empowerment that they can and do contribute to the
many great services provided by the county.
8 Mr. Brown's diverse background has brought a new dimension to the County. He came on 10/14/2020 3:01 PM
board ready to work and has worked tirelessly since he arrived. He is bright, articulate and
shows a genuine desire to help to make Washoe County a great place to live and work.

mentioned there was a possibility County Manager Brown may want to do a story time for the
kids and see the library. Manager Brown would be welcome to join us there that day if that

kids and see the library. Manager Brown would be welcome to join us there that day if that
works for his schedule. If the afternoon doesn't work for him, but the morning does, I can speak

The American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) awarded $200M in pandemic
response funding to the IMLS. Baker & Taylor has been supporting librarians
and their communities since 1828 and we plan to partner with you to find the
best solution for your funding.
Below are just a few of the community-focused Baker & Taylor ARPA
products and services that libraries are exploring.
Community Share Program
The Community Share Program allows libraries to share grade- and age-
appropriate content with local school districts, expanding student access to
resources.
• Add a tremendous breadth of children's and teen titles to existing

reading material available to students.
• Provide leisure reading and learning options to students outside of
school to inspire lifelong library patronage.
• Expand the library's active user base by engaging students (and
parents) with library programs and services.
• Enhance and foster collection development between schools and
public libraries.
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Analysis
Baker & Taylor's NEW DEI Analysis harnesses the power of collectionHQ to
leverage your library's holdings metadata and build collections where patrons
can find material that lets them see a reflection of themselves.
• Analyze your library's Fiction and Non-Fiction collections against

industry-accepted DEI topics.
• Monitor the supply of DEI content to identify gaps at a system wide and
branch level.
• Evaluate representation of diverse populations in both print and digital
collections.
• Effectively communicate diversity, equity and inclusion in your
collection to stakeholders in your community.
Pop Up Library
A small network outreach device that creates instant digital access, the Pop
Up Library creates a library presence at partner locations throughout your
community, including local businesses, government facilities, and even
airports!
• No app to install.
• No credentials to enter.
• No data plan needed.
• No barriers to reading.
Considering another option, need assistance with grant templates, or want to
learn more about these solutions? Baker & Taylor is ready to partner with you
to find a solution.

treesRus: An Example of
How Kids Can Change the
World
Posted by Truckee Meadows Parks Foundation, 4 min
In this week's blog, we interview Diego Masih about treesRus, a local non-profit
focused on planting trees to combat climate change that Diego founded when he was
just 11 years old. "I founded treesRus in late 2019. I had just turned 11, was in middle
school, and was a Boy Scout. The vision at that time was to make a difference in our
community. But with all that we have accomplished in such a short time, my new vision
is to make a difference in our world." Learn more about treesRus at treesRus.org, click
